Bug Description

Acoording to the short cut keys lists, ctrl + super + down should restore a window and then minimize.
It does restore from full maximize, but it no longer minimizes the window.
Also, super+ (any arrow key) now also bring up the shortcuts cheat sheet (the one you get when you long hold the super key)
and the only way to make it go away is to tap super twice again.
It is mildly annoying, and I'm pretty sure that's not intended behavior.

-----------------------------------------------------
Desired Solution:

- If the focused window is in the 'restored' state, pressing ctrl + super + down should minimise the window.

- If the focused window is in the 'maximised' state, pressing ctrl + super + down should restore the window.

- See https://docs.google.com/a/canonical.com/document/d/1jqeKtIJwqLtl58Wk_fqjr9Rrgxn9zsouCYOo-cZsLSE/edit for the full list of Unity keyboard shortcuts

Thank you for your bug report, not sure if it should minimize but those keybinding changed from super to ctrl-super-arrow, doing bottom twice still doesn't minimize though, not sure if that's a bug or a feature

It's most definitely a bug. In the Keyboard shortcuts overlay, Ctrl+Super+Down offers the following description
"Restores or minimizes current window"
Current behaviour is in variance with the description. It only Restores the current window.

I am affected by this bug, except for the part that says

That part does not affect me.
